You could have -70dBFS without affecting those distortion figures. These are some bad, bad distortion specs... I'm sure the average soundblaster is almost ten times better.

Did you try unchecking the "Analog modeling"-box? Makes one hell of a difference.

Pearl (the drum guys) have also sold some mics unfortunately. This might be one of those.

Yes, that now you can buy it in Sweden. But it's still not on Rodes website, and I foresee great complexity and/or neglectance in the datasheet when it comes to the polar plots.

Check out the PMI-audio forum at http://www.recording.org but be sure to bring water-proof boots and a towel, 'cause the drool is at least knee-high. (By the way I'm quite sure that the mic is gonna be exellent, but ridiculously high expectations is never a good thing.)

Given the sort of things people have assumed about this mic I fear that there is no way it can live up to expectations; unless a live and well Marvin Gaye comes with it in the box.

"Gold Vacuum evaporated Melonex membrains..." -Mmm, brain!

Dell Inspiron 4100 RME digiface Mindprint AN/DIpro (great sounding two channel mic-pre/AD-converter) And when i need more channels I add ST-audio ADAM24s to taste. I haven't racked it up yet but carry it around in a suitcase, 'cause I have yet to decide what mic pres to use. (Soundcraft F1 for...

I'm pretty sure I have already seen the ada8000 at my local gear-pimp, but I'm fairly sceptical about how eight mic amps for $250 are gonna sound...

I once recorded a choir in a limestone church from like the twelfth century, and thought that since the floor probably weights a few tonnes per square foot I would be safe without chockmounts on some of the mics. Big mistake! I ended up having to filter out the constant low frequency rumble from...

ST Audio is what they like to call their pro-range nowadays, but I prefer to keep saying Hoontech 'cause I find it very much consumer grade still. That being said, the line inputs are perfectly satisfactory to me, but I do avoid the mic inputs like - as you said - the plauge.

I'm sort of impressed that he posted a chart. And it really doesn't look too bad; looks rather well behaved for a cheap mic to me. Too bad it isn't cheap then. :)

And if you are really tight on cash remember the words of Bob Ohlsson: "Putting the lion's share of your attention and investment out in front of the microphones pays off every time" Your preamp is probably the least of your worries, but then again its often less demanding to spend $200 than to...

I have no idea how good or bad the Audio Buddy is, but between the preamps I own there are immediately noticable differences. And when you layer tracks the difference rather becomes more pronounced (or so I'm told, I do almost everything live so I don't layer the same preamps so often). The...

But you can never have too many bass guitars...

I sat down and listened through the presets in Trash today. For guitar I was quite impressed, but then again I'm not a guitar player and I have never been good with guitar sounds. (My favorite guitar effect is the mute button. :D) For drums and bass I was less impressed, but I havn't dismissed...

Yep, thats the way to do it, if you only need to switch between some inputs! (And you needn't worry about truncation because there is nothing going on inside that box that you can't check with an ohm-meter.) Congratulations! Now go spend the leftover cash on something useful like beer or a bass...

I think I've said it before but anyway I use Koss "The Plug" fitted with a pair of good plugs and put a pair of airport grade ear muffs on top of that. Ridiculously good isolation...

(I suppose you mean spectron when you say Ozone...) I havn't even got around to trying Trash yet... But I couldn't live without Ozone, so I might just buy both Spectron and Trash just to make the Izotope guys happy! :) So, anyway, anyone whos tried Trash or Spectron feel free to report your...

Coolness! I have only been working full time in electronics for three years. I started out as a physicist drawing rectangles, but as processes and IPs have gotten better we do less and less by hand and more and more by synthesis, so I've gradually become a Verilog hacker! Heed my advice and stay...
